Singapore’s Park Connector Network
The Park Connector Network (PCN) was developed to
create amatrix of green connectors linking
Singapore's parks, gardens, and nature reserves. It
aimed to increase residents' accessibility to nature
and greenery while promoting environmental
stewardship
The PCN has revolutionized commuting and recreation
in Singapore, allowing residents to cycle or walk
through green corridors.It promotes a healthier
lifestyle, provides arefreshing commute to work, and
contributes to Singapore's goal of becoming a car-
light city (Lee, Zhan et al. 2020).

Why
By visually representing data related to the network, such as the locations of existing connectors, planned expansions, and areas that
require improvement, data visualization tools can provide a clear and comprehensive overview of the network's availability and
connectivity.
Individuals can easily identify the nearest park connectors to their location, helping them incorporate these routes into their daily
commutes or exercise routines. Moreover, data visualization allows users to assess the connectivity between different areas, helping
them plan their routes more efficiently and effectively.
Data visualization also serves as a powerful tool for urban planners and decision-makers. By analyzing and visualizing data on park
connector usage, footfall, and feedback from users, planners can identify which areas are less accessible or lack connectivity. This
information enables them to prioritize infrastructure improvements or additions in these areas, ensuring that the Park Connector Network
continues to expand and enhance accessibility for all residents.
